    Author: Fabiani P, Katkhouda N, Iovine L, Mouiel J.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc; 1991 Sep; 1(3):162-5. PubMed ID: 1669396.
    Abstract:
    We describe a new technique of biliary cyst fenestration using a videolaparoscopic approach. From June 1989 to October 1990, laparoscopic fenestration was performed for four symptomatic solitary cyst and one polycystic liver disease patients, without any morbidity. Mean hospital stay was short: 6.8 days (range of 3-14 days). No recurrence was observed on ultrasound controls with a mean follow-up of 6.4 months (range of 2-15 months). Laparoscopic fenestration for symptomatic biliary cysts is a simple, effective, and minimally invasive procedure.
